Penny the WonderDog Has Gone Over the Rainbow Bridge

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

Yesterday morning, Penny told us it was time for her to go.  Her mast cell cancer, which she had fought valiantly for more than a year, just plain wore her out.

 

We spent the day saying our final thank you's and goodbyes.  In the afternoon, a very special hospice vet came to the house, and Penny went to sleep in her favorite spot, surrounded by more love than the room could hold.  She went peacefully and you could see the relief on her face that she was no longer in pain.

 

While we are, of course, devastated, we are happy that she is no longer suffering.  We feel very good that we knew when the time was right without her suffering more than she had to.  And there are no words to relate the amount of joy she has given us over the last 7 years.  She was not only an amazing member of the family; she made the love between my husband Ron and myself all that stronger.

 

We move forward one day at a time with broken but full hearts.  Now it is time to love and care for Biscuit as she tries to find her way without her big sister.

 

We want to thank each and every one of you who have continued to reach out to us during this past year.  We joined DoodleKisses when it was just brand new, and have made friends for a lifetime.  Your love and concern have meant the world to us, and we look forward to sharing Biscuit's life with you the days unwind.

 

Penny loved you all... and so do we.

I'm so very sorry. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful doodle. I'm sorry you lost her so soon. It seems so unfair sometimes. But I'm sure she lived a wonderful life and is now up there somewhere playing, dancing, loving, and clowning around. Rest in Peace sweet girl!

[Leslie and Halas]

I'm so, so sorry for your loss.  Penny was a fighter.  And your video tribute is wonderful.  RIP, WonderDog.

All our prayers for her were answered when you all decided it was time to let her go in peace. My tears are falling as it is so sad to let one go but I know what you meant when you say the love between your husband and you grew stronger because of her.

Penny was a much loved dog both there at home and here on DK. So sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry for your loss of Penny.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I know you and your family have shed buckets and buckets of tears, but Dr. Seuss once said "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."  I know you wouldn't have traded Penny and the joy she brought to your lives for anything in the world, but later I hope you will smile BIG when you think of her.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I remember reading about Penny since I first joined, and I'm glad that she was able to go peacefully, after living such a full happy life.

The video was so beautiful - showing a life well lived, well loved.  I am so sorry for your loss.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

There are no words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Rest in peace, sweet Penny. You were a blessing to everyone who loved you, and you will live on in their hearts.

[Dori & Rua]

Can't even read through this right now as I started crying when I read the title, but I just had to tell you how sorry I am.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

So so very sad but glad also that sweet Penny went in her favorite place at home and when the time was right.  I have no more words to add but to wish you, your husband and Biscuit my thoughts and prayers.
